If I could turn back time (I'd be an astronaut)

The effects of Relativity make Astronauts a fraction of a second younger upon their return to Earth after long durations in orbit.
Cosmonaut Sergei Konstantinovich Krikalyov currently holds the record for the most time spent in space with a total of 804 days spent in orbit. He has clocked up this impressive total crewing first MIR and then the International Space Station (during that time he has also completed 8 EVA’s).
I wonder how much of that time he spent staring out the window ?
